aloha apparently cannot accept him as a client, for some weird reason.

...On a certain level, being "alone "homeless- but still in an urban/city situation - can allow you more sleep,and more actual tim ealone/to think to yourself.
I was,when HL(not housedsomewhere)practically always that when in San Francisco. However,I wasyounger then, I didn't have the (stillhanging on) infections/etc. situation and I was considerably to the south ! !! !! !! !! !!
But back to MY SWOLLEN FEET (and legs,I imagine) :( .
As I said, the feet look RIDICulousLY swollen,like, when bare, stockings are all over them . :(
One reason for this,I think?
Something I hadn'tIIRC gotten around to saying ,which is that, in day shelters ,I end upstting for hours in one chair , feet on the floor (With elementary school-level" That'smy spot !/You can't have my chair ! " squabbling the order of the day,too. Bah . :( ) ~ and, though I had thought,"Hm,maybe that's not too good formy legs , not having elevated feet and all that ",I did,sort of,think that the amputation removed that problem, at least most immediately, and perhaps it was overly alarmist for me to say it here ~ But you have seen how swollen those feet looked last night,as I prepared to bunkdown (In the alcove,,outdoors,with at least some rain :( .) last nite ~ Like an elephantitis case ? If I went to the ER, they'd doubtless hustle me out fastest,perhaps prescribe morepills ~ Whoopeee :( I NEED SOMEWHERE TO STAY . :cry: Oh, BTW,I have tried to fulfill the last two(only) two prescriptions I got,only some antibiotics and an inhaler ,I don'tknow whether the DS will fulfillit ~ ?????

...Youknow,IIRC I said that "maybe if I did some Cali time ,I'd get a place " , plus:I think they, even if they kept me briefly,wouldn' tmuch want a fat,sick,old, non-violent,"half-crazy " diabetic on their budget and find reason to let me out fast ~ That is what happened in the last round of Santa Cruz jail time, the DA wouldn't prosecute "in the interests of justice ".
Plus,uh, maybe I " shoulddo my time and get it over with " .
To repeat mmyself,couldsomeone maybe (PMme formy real name,etc.,if you wantto.) track down the information about what warrants and probation are out/upagainst me in CA ?
Someone with morephone + computer time than I (Like, everybody else here. :( .) .
I had thought I'dgo to the big Goodwill hereto-day and try to get a second pair of pants ~ However, unlessI sleepoutside again,I don't knowwhether I can , then ,sleep in a shelter situation this night .

...Last night , after both KK's suggestion and a problem in filling the earlier Swedish Hospital prescription , I went back to Swedish --- and IT WAS A DISASTER ! !! !! !! !!
I'll describe it later , but they ABSURDLY rushed me right out , telling me ABSURD things .
Briefly , I am thinking that , unless a resonable lace to stay manifests itself in Seattle NOW , I have to return to _ probably Santa Cruz ~ California , because at least maybe I could get a touch of rest there , unlike here , where I have received NO rest , after the Everett hospital did , in fact , fulfill my fears and deny me some recuperation/" learning-to-walk-again " second-act rehab :cry: .
If I did leave ghere ~ Or , even if , staying , I tried to " put down roots " here ~ I'd need some more money , really :( .

Time to make a plan that suits you best. Good luck. As you have said, you know your situation and we don't, so I can only hope that you find the solutions you want and in the future you will be well and this will be behind you.

ASS-P sent me this email-

I can't get into WP to post , so I will say something of what I would have said there . By 30 minutes from the time this is sent , send me an immediate reason I should not buy a Greyhound to Santa Cruz , and I mean a REAL " this will happen "if you..." - not " maybe " , for real - or " here's money to stay in Seattle" (Though I could use such money to re-start elsewhere , too .) . Last night , for the I-dunno-how-manyeth consecutive time I went from Lazurus to the master shelter , there were no cots anywhere and they took us back downtown , so I slept in that enclave again ~ & was aroused the next ayem by the same (" nice ") lady cop as before , saying I'd be arrested the next time she did .

As it happenes , I did a fulfilling-the-obligation visit to UGM this ayem ,, a week aftwer the NZ-er's big whoop was fulfilled ~ Not very suprisingly , my place on the waiting list hadn't changed . It is clear that , the hospitals here , Jean , and the shelters cannot or will notn get a place to rest and recover for me . Actually , I don't know that I should play this ritual of " So , should I stay ? " . I really don't think anyone at WP is gooing to connect me to anything . AS FAR AS ----- SOME ----- SORT OF PLACE TO STAY GOES , it would appear that a bigger chance of getting SOMETHING exists in Santa Cruz , where I have connections . Can YOU think of anywhere else ??????????? I'm not going to take up time now in detailing how disasterously the 2nd visit to Swedish Hospital went . Just see what I said above . since I can't post on WP , could you maybe add to the " Not Well " thread concerning this , please ? I have an already-existing USPS address in SC , the homeless place's address , but maybe I could use help in getting my name remembered my more new mail fo0r me coming there . I couldn't access kraftiekortie's PM to me , either , please put that on the WP message .
